Are Guaranteed Returns on Golden Visa Investments Real?
“Guaranteed” may be the most oversold word in residency by investment.
Guaranteed rent. Guaranteed return. Guaranteed approval. Guaranteed exit.
I’ve seen the word in beautiful presentations. Big font. Nice paper. And I always ask the same boring question. Guaranteed by whom?
The developer?
The fund?
An insurance company?
A government?
Because those are four very different promises. A government guarantee and a developer’s promise are not the same thing, even when they use the same word. Then I ask the second question. What happens if the guarantee isn’t honored? Who do you call. What court. In what language. If nobody can answer that plainly, the word is doing more work than the investment underneath it.
A guarantee isn’t tested when everything goes right. It’s tested when it doesn’t.
